Hello and Welcome, I am Richa Joshi, a business lawyer registered in India. I work with startup founders and small business owners at the intersection of entity structuring, contracts, compliance, and risk management in their early and growth stages, with a focus on India, the USA, the UAE, and the UK. At this crucial point, a company makes legal and commercial decisions resulting in long-term implications. Having worked with startups across sectors, including Space Technology, E-Commerce & Gamification, Information Technology, Service Aggregators, and Export-Import, I have learned that these are some major issues startups face: 1. Entity Structuring: What entity structure is suitable for a business’s goals and vision? 2. Contract Engineering: How contracts can make or break a business? Why are they the foundation of a business? 3. Compliances and Risk Identification: What mistakes can make a startup face regulatory or statutory penalties? 4. Business Expansion Strategies: When is the right time and opportunity to expand a business offshore? I prioritise decision-oriented clarity over citations. Here, I share my insights on what works, what creates quiet friction, and common issues that emerge as businesses grow. I believe that the law should support business momentum, not slow it down. *Disclaimer & Terms: The insights, materials, and discussions on this platform are meant solely for general informational and educational purposes.
